Ziggy Marley took home the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album For Children at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.
The winning album, “Family Time,” is Marley’s third solo album.
Though it may seem strange for a man more well-known for Jamaican reggae to win the top spot for a children’s album, it’s not hard to believe once you know his personal life. He and his wife/manager Orly Marley have five children ranging in ages from 20 to 3: Daniel, Justice, Zuri, Judah and Gideon Marley.

Recently, Ziggy announced that he was interested in doing a children’s album. “I decided to do a record focusing on children after finishing the Love Is My Religion tour. Now that I am finally doing it I realize I was always being led in this direction.
Slowly but surely over the years the children’s world became more pronounced in my world. From Sesame Street, Arthur, Nickelodeon, Shark Tale and playing pre-concert children’s shows, it just kept knocking at my door. I finally realized what the Universe was telling me. It is time to make a children’s record. There is a reason for this. What has been hidden from the wise and the prudent is revealed to the babe and the suckling. The message is for the children and Jah says it is time to make music for the children,” Ziggy said.
So, maybe sometime between now and the time his tour kicks off in January, your little ones can enjoy Ziggy’s music as much as you do!
